DigiLid

DigiLid

The universal digital printing machine for flat surfaces

Concept

The ink-jet printing machine has a linear structure and is divided up into three sections. The first section is comprised of the infeed table with surface pretreatment. The second section is fitted with a printing station for white base printing and curing, followed by the four-color (CYMK) printing station. The third section is used for UV curing and delivering the finished product. Suitable for packaging, components, toys and much more… with a flat surface to print on!
